Affordable upgrades

[Nicholas Rodriguez]

Hey Linus quick question my friend. 
 

my pc specs

GPU:GTX 1650 super 

SSD:SATA 500 gb

CPU: Ryzen 3 3100 

RAM: 8gb

 

what upgrades specs should I look forward to in the the future that won’t break my pockets ? 

[Dedayog]

1TB more of SSD.  8GB more RAM.

 

What motherboard are you using?  Slot in a better CPU for that tier maybe.

 

How are your speakers, headphones, mouse, keyboard, etc?  Always places to make the experience better, not just fps.

A cpu upgrade will be good, ryzen 5 3600 or 5600x is going to be perfect. You can go for additional 8gb ram or 2x8gb ddr4 3200mhz and adding a NVMe ssd 500gb will be good idea, then you can use sata ssd could be used for storing games and stuff. You didn't mentioned which motherboard you have and ram speed.

I apologize 
 

motherboard is Asrock 520M/ac

cooler is a deep cool fan

Right, as you know either gpu prices are sky rocketing or they are unavailable. So I think 1650 super will be good enough for now. In future, when the situation is better, go for RTX series. Your motherboard is fine, but when you upgrade your cpu stick to stock cooler of ryzen 5. AMD coolers are good enough when not overclocking.

You can incrementally upgrade your CPU and GPU, but the machine is solid as it is.

 

You're looking at a sizeable outflow of money to make a worthwhile step upward in performance.  What's your budget?

500 watt-standard 80 plus bronze. Not sure if I would have to upgrade that too sometime

This doesn't tell me much, what is the specific model? That's where we can tell if it needs to be upgraded

[Nicholas Rodriguez]

I’m not entirely sure. I would have to actually check it out sometime today.

The most I’ll go to upgrading my specs is probably around $4-500 because the stock cooler with Ryzen 5 5600x should be good enough of a cooler and with ram I just probably need a 16gb or 16gb pro for that and I definitely! Need a SSD stick because I have a SATA SSD but it’s only 500gb
